Welcome to the one post that will change the way you look at your life forever! (I hope!) I recently finished a women's Bible study, with some beautiful sisters, entitled Exploring the Mystery Within. One of our first homework assignment was to make a list of five things we could declare about who we are. … Continue reading What’s in a name?
The other day I was remembering when I moved into a dorm room on campus when I was 18. At first it was so exciting, I had untold freedom to do what I wanted, and make my own decisions. But after a while, it got a little overwhelming, and I missed being at home. I … Continue reading Homesick

See if you can agree with me here. A beautiful, decadent dessert is placed before you. First you consume it … Continue reading Taste and see
“Weebles wobble, but they don't fall down.” That was the catchphrase for several lines of children's roly-poly toys from Hasbro's Playskool division created on July 23, 1971.

Last month, on a contemporary Christian radio, they asked you to sign up to encourage folks every day for the month.
